The Impact of social Policies towards Children in vulnerable Situations in the City of Salta, Argentina

Abstract

Considering that institutions serve as a framework for the interactions that take place between the various social actors among which the State plays a central role but without being an exclusive actor within the social fabric, this research has the primary objective of analyzing the educational impact of social programs for boys and girls in the Solidaridad and Castañares neighborhoods of the City of Salta. The adopted theoretical approach develops from the notion of Social Institutionality, since it is understood that social programs and the actions that emerge from them are contextualized in a social framework or in networks that, when institutionalized by facilitating collective actions, bring about the formation of social capital. It is based on the assumption that maintains that social programs for children have different results in educational matters, depending on to the contexts and areas addressed, and asses this point both qualitative and quantitative methodology will be used.
